Is spousal support and alimony the same thing?

How long does an ex husband have to pay alimony?
If you were married, you have 12 months from the date of your divorce to apply for spousal maintenance. If you were in a de facto relationship, you have two years from the date of final separation to make the application.
Can a working woman get alimony?
